Burn One Down (Live) - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals

I guess you're off to have your fun Another ending just begun And I know what I don't see Really should'nt bother me So go and have yourself a ball You'll be at no one's beck and call With that fire in your eyes Another lover's moon will rise Someone else will take the fall And that's just the way you are And I've known all along Some candles always burn Even when the night is gone But the strongest of flames They won't burn eternally So when you find another friend Who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me So you don't matter anymore I'll convince myself, I'm sure As if I give a damn Oh, that's just the way I am So go on and pour yourself some wine Who'll ever spend your time 'Cause anyone can see You won't be crying over me And you never were that kind Lord, that's just the way you are And I've known all along Some candles always burn Even when the night is gone But the strongest of flames They won't burn eternally So when you find another friend Who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me Mmm, mmm Ahh, ahh Mmm, mmm The strongest of flames They won't burn eternally So when you find another friend Who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me They won't find another candle Light your candle up again You can burn one down for me

We can walk right out the door Cloud our legacy forever We fight back with questions in our hearts (Always the first the place the blame) Never once accepted the shame The past is drowning us all (Drowning us all) We're hating We're lying On us they are relying Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave We're falling We're climbing Is us we are defining Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave We can put this all behind us Face the enemy together Build it back with anger in our hearts (We're living in a time) Where giving up Is glorified Our ordinary story Justifies the drive (Justifies the drive in us all) We're hating We're lying On us they are relying Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave We're falling We're climbing Is us we are defining Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave Your telling me the same ol story Let's burn this to the ground Burn it to the ground We're hating We're lying On us they are relying Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave We're falling We're climbing Is us we are defining Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave The past is drowning me Tear apart the lies we've been deceived (Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave) The past is drowning me (Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave)

Like the wings stolen from an angel Like petals gone from a rose Like a dove caught in a storm Tonight he is in the Lord's arms The wind, it blew straight through us And whispered to me in tongues I was told I was warned Tonight he would be in the Lord's arms Tonight he is in the Lord's arms So I'll drink this wine to him With each glass a memory He left me with his crown of thorns Tonight he is in the Lord's arms Tonight he is in the Lord's arms Tonight he is in the Lord's arms
